Huifkar bij boerderij 1781 - 1822

This etching, "Huifkar bij boerderij" (covered wagon by the farm), created by Hermanus Fock between 1781 and 1822, depicts a rural Dutch landscape. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the portrayal of a humble farm with a thatched roof and a covered wagon, set against the backdrop of a winding path and lush trees. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity, characteristic of Dutch Golden Age landscape art. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small etching exemplifies Fock's mastery of the etching technique and his keen eye for capturing the beauty of everyday life in the Dutch countryside.
